    Home Automation, Lights and Locks.

    I'm using Smartthings with Ecolink sensors, Kwikset locks, and GE switches all on Zwave. There's even a 3rd-party Blue Iris trigger and profile selector that works with ST. I don't use it, but it does exist.

    Recommendations on Z-wave sensors.

    I use Ecolinks too and they work fine.

    best smart thermostat ?

    Using Nests myself, but would probably go with Ecobee now as they're a bit more flexible.

    Negli Stati Uniti, Dahua e Hikvision sono buoni. Non lo so se riesce a trovare in Italia.

    Need help with ReoLink Cameras and new Blue Iris Upate - Low FPS

    Please use the search function as these instructions have been posted several times. Cameras' Interface: 1. Make sure the Reolinks are using the most recent firmware released a couple months ago. 2. Turn off 3D-NR. Blue Iris: 1. Uncheck RTSP/stream timecode in each camera's video settings. 2...

    Reolink decided not to add iFrame interval because it'll cause issues for "some people".

    No longer true. There is no need to disable hardware acceleration so long as the firmware is up to date.

    Reolink - good & bad

    I have a couple of Reolinks and like them, but given you can buy Dahuas today for the same price, I would go that route.

    Hosafe Cameras and Blue Iris issues

    Can't speak to BI, but my dad has a couple of these cheap cameras and I've managed to get them working in Netcam Studio by providing the RTSP address and selecting RTSP_TCP. If you can, return the Hosafe cameras and get better ones like Dahua or Hikvision for BI. If not, try messing with the...

    Am I wasting my time with Amcrest/Foscam?

    Amcrest has some decent hardware because many are based on Dahua, but overpriced and you basically have Foscam customer service. Might as well get Dahua right out of the gate.

    Anyone try the new FI9803 series Foscams?

    I have direct experience with the v2 version of the FI9803 and can confirm it isn't anything special. The image quality of my Reolinks or Hikvision if I force them down to 720p crush the Foscam. Definitely better options out there for the money.

    All wireless foscams dropping off network daily

    Using WiFi for cameras in my experience is terrible, but I have gotten them to work using 9dBi antennas.

    High CPU use on v4.5.0.0 x64 ?

    21fps seems like overkill, but if your system can handle it.

    Videos "destroyed" able to be viewed on BI?

    Also be sure to turn off the UID and UPnP functions in the cameras interface under Network-->Advanced. I always block all IP cameras at the router just for good measure as they're accessible via Blue Iris anyways.

    Man, streaming multiple IP cameras to the cloud would use up huge amount of bandwidth and some customers such as Comcast ones, would find some rude surprises. What I do is record locally to my Blue Iris server and sync the recordings to the cloud which is much more reasonable in terms of bandwidth.

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    If you're planning to use Blue Iris, I don't believe the zoom works so pretty much useless as compared to something with a fixed lens.

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    I have the RLC-410s and happy with them, but Dahuas can be had for the same price these days so I would go with them. The Starlight Turrets in particular are a great bargain.

    Foscam compatibility with Milestone Essential?

    You could also get a new camera. These days even 4mp cameras are dirt cheap.

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    I understand what you're saying, but I'm not suffering from anything and hardly unable to admit I bought a subpar product. Spending a little over a $150 for 2 new Dahuas and 15 minutes setting them up would not represent any kind of burden on me, but I don't see the need. I actually prefer my...

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    From what I understand, none of those vendors are authorized according to Dahua, but stand corrected if they are excluding the rebrands of course.

    Reolink RLC 410 and Blue Iris

    This information is outdated. Since the most recent firmware, running the cameras in high or main with hardware acceleration enabled presents no issues. I have been doing so and have seen no more or less problems with the stream as I do with my Hik which is more likely due to noise on my...

    Xeoma VMS Surveillance Software

    I tried Xeoma some time ago and although it works, I really don't like its interface.

    Another one is Netcam Studio which I believe allows a couple of cameras for free with no other restrictions.
